the Hushed Casket

Played lots of Quake 4 on the PC not too long ago. It was criticized for being too much like the earlier versions of the series, however, I'd actually consider that a strong point. It brought back good memories.

Hopefully on the 360 version you're allowed to create custom gametypes of sorts. Railz only for life!! I played on some servers where the guys have been playing Rails only gametypes religiously for over a decade. Now that's some true veteran gamers for you. I guess they found what they liked and stuck to it. There's a sort of simplicity there that I admire.

One really good game that used the Quake 4 engine was "Prey". But talk about a case of vertigo! That game made me sick to my stomach for the first 3 days I played it. You, as well as your enemies can run up and down the walls and ceiling. It's more of a single player game because literally you can't find anyone in the multiplayer servers. The developer still hosts a few servers, however there are probably NO other servers available. I would have to wait 10-15 minutes running around just for 1 person to j-up into a game. The perception I believe was that the weapons sucked. (they were very different than your standard fps). One weapon was an acid gun that would squirt a short blast of acid similar to a shotgun. The game was really very well made though, some of the scenarios in single player were stunning and engrossing. I'd recommend it to anyone.
